In 1912, Ralph Edwards left civilization and vanished into a remote section of British Columbia. Like Robinson Crusoe, he had to make his own tools and learn the hard way, by trial and error. Unlike Crusoe, he fought for his survival against a hostile environment; deep snow, bitter cold and wild animals. This is the story of his life-long and victorious battle. "A remarkable life story well told." Library Journal. "One of the most memorable books of modern times." Chicago Sunday Tribune.
